Configurations
The “CLDC
Configuration” is the
complete set of
CLDC APIs
Provides
maximum
functionality for
applications
Typical CLDC
platform footprint
is 1-2 MB ROM
The CLDC Compact
Configuration
defines a subset for
very small target
platforms
Omits Logging,
NIO Files, and
NIO Channels
Tailored for very
constrained
devices (512 K
ROM)
CLDC is scalable to small and very small devices

Optimizing Footprint Even Further
! “Stripping On Deployment”
– For fixed-function, minimal footprint deployments
– Allows bundling application with CLDC 8 runtime and then stripping
away unnecessary components
– Result: Minimal, non-modifiable binary containing application and
runtime

that is implemented by a (service) provider.
! Providers can be installed to extend the Java platform.
! Providers are located and instantiated on demand.
! Providers are identified via a provider-configuration file in the
META-INF/services resource directory.

Shareable Software Components
! A shareable software component that one or more applications MAY use
at runtime
! Save static footprint size by enabling multiple application suites to share
the same common code without packaging them redundantly
! Reduced download times for applications that declare dependencies on
shared components
! Each shared library exposes a set of classes and resources to
applications for their use just as if those classes and resources were
originally packaged within the application JAR
! Different implementations of the same API can be can be accessed via
the Service Provider/Consumer pattern
Shared Libraries (LIBlets)

57. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 57
Service Provider/Consumer Pattern
! Service is a well known set of interfaces/abstract classes;
Service Provider is an implementation of the service
! Enables consumers to use services by one or more providers
! Features of the Application Platform Framework
– Ability of apps, shared libraries, or runtime to declare it provides a service (provider)
– Ability of apps or shared libraries declare a dependency on a service (consumer)
– Ability of the AMS to bind a consumer to a provider, and rebind on updates
– Service provider executed in context of consumer (client application)
! Benefits
– Modular software design, increased reuse, easier updating, reduced
testing, reduced footprint
Based on Java SE ServiceLoader API

MEEP 8 Enhanced Security Model
! “Clients” and Software Components
– Clients are entities with particular security privileges (similar to users or
application vendors). Specialized clients are possible (e.g. “root client”).
– Software components are associated with clients and inherit their
privileges
– Authentication of clients and software components can be use case-
specific (e.g. specialized authentication scheme)
! Security Privileges
– Priviledges are based on clients and expressed as fine-grain permissions
– Authorization (granting of permissions) can be use case-specific (e.g.
networked authorization services)
Flexibility to Support Specialized Security Scenarios

Device I/O API
• Generic API to access devices
in a platform-neutral manner
• ‘Late binding’ allows addition
of new peripheral types without
changing API
• Enables downstream support
of use case-specific
peripherals (non-real time)
• No native application code
• Also planned for availability on
Java SE
Access Peripheral I/O Hardware directly from Java applications
